As much as I like IE that wasn't my concern... it was that chrome is a rather unpopular browser. If you had said mozilla/firefox was the best at supporting html5 then I wouldn't have said anything. ;)
SirPoonga:
Well, they all support html5 to some degree. Safari and Chrome support it because those are the popular mobile browsers and HTML5 is better than Flash for the mobile environment.
Chrome is actually very popular. The fast rise in Chrome is why IE is no longer the top browser in Europe. I saw a chart of browser usage for the last 6 months in Europe. The Firefox line didn't move - level all 6 months. Chrome went up dramatically taking away from IE. As a result making Firefox the most popular browser right now.
And of course Safari is Mac - even though there is a PC port. I like Safari. I use Safari on my Mac, Chrome on the Windows side of the Mac, and Firefox at work. Out of all of them I like Safari the best. However, I tried the PC port of Safari and it blows - go figure.
SirPoonga:
I am moved, but I will be busy for a couple of weeks. I hope to get back on this by May.
SirPoonga:
Ok, I am moved. I see I need to update to 0.142. I will try to do that soon.
SirPoonga:
Looks like Microsoft is getting into HTML5. I am starting to see them getting rid of Silverlight for HTML5. also this is a ms blog.

Looking at what one could do with HTML5 I could totally see an IE9 frontend - put IE9 into full screen mode and use HTML5 along with controls.dat data I think you could make a pretty cool FE.
Well, maybe not an FE because that require running a local exe which web tech frowns on. BUT I see we could make an html5 control viewer. Someone could then just embed IE9 into their FE. The only issue with that is how much traffic would that push to arcadecontrols.com. I would host the FE viewer on my own website possibly. I might just do that at some point.
